Review: Globetrotting Pets: An International Guide

With few exceptions involving kennels and leashes, most of the advice in this well-written book applies to kids and pets: plan ahead, consider the needs of both the child/pet and the parent/owner, avoid bad water and the like. That said, I think I could make a credible argument that the parts about kennels and leashes wouldn't be the worst thing for some parents to read over either. But I am doing a disservice to this book trying to be witty. I'll stop and suggest that if you are considering traveling or moving internationally with your pet, this 416-page paperback book will provide you with the information and resources you will need to make the experience safe and enjoyable for you and your pet. Just as I advise not to depart without thinking through the things you need to do to ensure a good trip for your young ones, I suggest you work through this book for your and your pet's sake. There are three sections to this book, each useful for different parts of your travel planning: --Things to consider when deciding whether to take your pet with you; --Practicalities on international pet travel, such as airline regulations, shipping containers, vaccinations, food, things to pack, etc.; --Specific country-by-country information on bringing along your pet, with phone, FAX, email and web site information for literally everywhere (Afghanistan, North Korea, Palau as well as the UK, Canada and other slightly more common destinations).
